Max Boot, the infamous Russian-born so-called “conservative”—cough, cough—and staunch Never Trumper, has never held back in his angst when it comes to President Trump, throwing around labels like “Russian asset” and “geopolitical catastrophe.”

Boot is such a staunch anti-Trumper that he could easily take the helm at The Lincoln Project if he wanted to.

Now, Boot finds himself entangled in a personal scandal as his wife, a former CIA analyst, is accused of spying for South Korea. It’s a curious twist, right? It seems the anti-Trump crowd always embodies the very faults they claim Trump has.

The real icing on the cake here is that Max’s wife allegedly played “spy games” in exchange for luxury handbags. It sounds like the Boot family’s sense of patriotism and morals could fit into a Louis Vuitton purse.

Sky News:

Sue Mi Terry, the wife of Washington Post columnist Max Boot, was charged with failing to register as a foreign agent and conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act, according to an indictment made public Tuesday in Manhattan federal court. Prosecutors allege that Terry promoted South Korea’s policy positions, disclosed nonpublic U.S. government information to South Korean intelligence officers, and facilitated access for South Korean government officials to their American counterparts.

South Korean intelligence officers allegedly gave her Bottega Veneta and Louis Vuitton handbags, a Dolce & Gabbana coat, and dinners at Michelin-starred restaurants.

Prosecutors say they also provided more than $37,000 in “covert” funding for a public policy program on Korean affairs that she ran.

Terry is alleged work to have worked as an agent for a decade from 2013, two years after she left US government employment.

Meanwhile, he and his wife co-wrote a column for WAPO on US and Korean relations while she was a spy, followed up, of course, by his “18 Reasons” that Trump could be a Russian asset.

It turns out Trump isn’t a “Russian asset,” but Max Boot’s wife is a Korean spy. How’s that for irony, folks?

Ironically, finding just one reason why Mrs. Boot became a South Korean spy isn’t hard. In fact, she was so knee-deep in intrigue (and designer handbags) that she found herself passing hand-written notes highlighting Secretary of State Blinken.

The Sky News piece goes on:

She advocated South Korean policy positions during media appearances, shared non-public information with intelligence officers, and facilitated meetings between US and South Korean government officials, according to the indictment.

She also admitted to the FBI that she served as a source of information for South Korean intelligence, including by passing handwritten notes from an off-the-record June 2022 meeting which included US secretary of state Antony Blinken, the indictment says.

It looks like Mrs. Boot might soon be trading her luxury boots for prison shoes—straight into the big house. The Sky News piece concludes:

Terry, who is now a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, served in the US government from 2001 to 2011, first as a CIA analyst and later as the deputy national intelligence officer for East Asia at the National Intelligence Council.

Prosecutors say Terry said she was not an “active registrant” on disclosure forms filed with the House of Representatives, where she testified at least three times between 2016 and 2022, but also never disclosed her covert work with South Korea, preventing Congress from having “the opportunity to fairly evaluate Terry’s testimony in light of her longstanding efforts” for the government.

Now, the even bigger question looms: What role did Max play in all of this? Was this staunch anti-Trump hater using his platform at the Washington Post to push foreign propaganda onto Americans, just to build up his wife’s exotic handbag collection?

Here’s an example of the type of work Max had published on WAPO:

Price purses aside, was Max himself getting paid to spread propaganda?

It’s interesting, isn’t it—how all these NeverTrumpers end up being the worst kind of folks? It makes you really think about what those anti-Trump elitists are pushing for, why these big shots fight so hard against transparency, and why they don’t want to hand government back to the people.
